Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily,
Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”

Why Serving Jehovah Gives Us Joy

All of us can serve Jehovah with heartfelt joy because his requirements—no matter what our circumstances in life may be—are always reasonable and reachable. Why can we say so?

God’s Word states: “Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing, when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do it.” (Prov. 3:27) What did you note in this proverb regarding God’s requirements?

Jehovah does not command you to strive to equal the power that may be in your brother’s hand but to serve Him with what is “in the power of your hand.” Yes, each of us—no matter how weak or how strong the power of our hand may be—can wholeheartedly serve Jehovah.—Luke 10:27; Col. 3:23.
